Donovan Out with Concussion | MLB News

Brendan Donovan’s season hit a major bump after a freak batting cage incident sent him to the seven-day concussion IL—retroactive to Friday—with his return penciled in for next Saturday. The Mariners recalled Patrick Wisdom from Triple-A to fill the void, while manager Dan Wilson confirmed it was a thrown pitch, not a batted ball, that struck Donovan. Already hampered by offseason groin surgery, Donovan had been playing well since returning Aug. 4, hitting .280+. With him out, Leo Rivas and Wisdom may man third base. Meanwhile, pitcher Bryan Woo is being evaluated after a throwing session, and his status could impact the rotation for their upcoming Phillies series. Logan Gilbert starts Monday, George Kirby Tuesday, and Wednesday’s starter remains TBD—though Woo, pushed back from his Cubs game, isn’t expected to need an IL stint.
